IL-6: Ives Continues Attack on Casten

From former State Representative Jeanne Ives, now the Republican candidate for Congress in the 6th District:

Casten and Democrats Exploit Pandemic for Political Gain

“Where is the media on this? If it matters what Trump says intemperately, then it matters what Casten says ignorantly.”

April 5, 2020 – This week Sean Casten and his allies on the political left took to social media to exploit the Coronavirus pandemic, hoping to score political points. On Saturday, Sean Casten tweeted out, “To bet on Trump is to bet against the American people.”

Today, Indivisible DuPage, an organization that openly supports Casten and with whom he worked closely to get elected – even filming interviews with their members, followed up with a Facebook graphic that strings together a series of charges to accuse Republicans of “killing Americans.”

“In one weekend, Sean Casten equated those who voted for President Trump with traitors, and Indivisible DuPage called hundreds of thousands of good people in the 6th District killers. Killers. This is the most extreme and divisive rhetoric at a time when all Americans are fearful about their futures and their well-being,” said Jeanne Ives, a candidate for Congress in IL-06. “I am offended, as a veteran, a military mom, and a citizen. We all should be offended. Everyone is concerned about the health and the economic cost of this crisis. Regardless of party or political beliefs, our leaders should be working together to ensure we get past this pandemic and get American workers back on the job – not stoking anger, fear and division.

“Where is the media on this? Why haven’t they pushed back on the exploitation of the pandemic by Democrats in the same rigorous way they cover Republicans? If it matters what Trump says intemperately, then it matters what Casten says ignorantly.

“In a crisis, character matters most. And Sean Casten and Indivisible DuPage are certainly showing their true character.”

How could you be soooooooooooooooooooooo partisan as to attack our sitting Honorable Congressman and successful business person Sean Casten in the middle of a global pandemic? This human should be ashamed…tic, toc, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…

This is the guy who a couple of years ago in a debate stupidly and recklessly compared the taking of a human life fetus as just like an operation to remove a diseased gall bladder. He is the one, just like numerous Democrats, who support the Destructive Rights of women to have an abortion for convenience. He and Democrats and the media have mis-characterized these destructive rights as “Reproductive Rights”. The latter are properly ONLY the domain of those pregnant women who lovingly give birth to their fetuses

It is time to call out the media and the Democrats to label abortions as done per the “Destructive Rights” granted not by God or nature but by courts of the US.

Another “smart in school dumb on the bus” idiot who got elected..mr multiple science degrees, yet continues to get behind the wrong issues, and the ones that the majority of his District are not in favor of.
